Someone dropped the ball this year @Almightys ;)

Anyway, I got started today.

I had the sides/hull finished last fall. My knees are pissed off at me tonight.

Yeah...for me it's my back when working the horizontal surfaces. I'm just too dutch, and lack any other reasons to get out of the house on Saturday mornings in winter.

I enjoy working on the sides, aside from dealing with other boats. This year I'm in the absolute best spot I've ever been. I've got room for miles (well, at least 12"+) on all sides. It's incredible...

I had to do the hull before it got jammed in. Now there's hardly room to do anything. This is now.

The ceramic held up very well from last season, this winter I just need to wipe down the topsides with the water spot remover from Starke and wipe her down with some Replenish to boost the coating. Very thankful for that!
 
I signed up for $ 1000 to buff and re-ceramic coat the hard top.In an out of control moment I'm spending near that having the bilge detailed and Cummins touched up.

I used Ceracote last year. WHOLLY MACKERAL. It went on like wiping on water and it has completely eliminated water spotting. A quick rub on of Maguires Quick Detailer and it looks like new.

Plus, the shine is better than factory new.

You can't make a post like that without sharing pictures. Come on now...

Sorry, I didn't take a pic when I did the job and now the boat is snug as a bug in a rug in an unlighted garage.

I'll try to remember in May and post it then.
